Fashion Fever Closets Revisited: Barbie Diaries Closet

The Barbie Diaries Closet

The Barbie Diaries Closet was another of my early unplanned posts that I feel deserves a do-over. I always liked this closet even though I often feel that pink is over used in Barbie’s wardrobe. I think I like it because the pinks are a bit more delicate and I love the butterflies.

The Models:

The Fashions:

Ruby models the butterfly print dress and jacket which are a good fit. She can wear the pink shoes but only just, the white shoes and the sunglasses are her own.

Sandy and Miranda both model the jeans from the closet with two different tops and shoes. Sandy feels that the jeans are too short and there is much muttering about “ankle freezers” . Miranda thinks they are about the right length for her. Both the girls are Swappin’ Heads Fashionistas but the lengths do look different to me too.

These jeans are a bit short on Sandy.

Next the girls model the pink skirt with the two tops.

Miranda wears the skirt with the light top.

Becky is very satisfied with the way the shoot has gone and thanks the girls for coming in at short notice. She thinks that Vivienne will be fairly happy with the job they have done.

Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.

I look for shoes for the odd sized foot dolls online but some can be expensive. I remember the beach Barbie dolls of a few years ago had those flat feet and were sold barefoot. I thought they had nice faces but I knew the feet would be a problem so never bought one. I think they are too wide even for Barbie sneakers.

This set has great number of options, with or without shoes. The butterfly print is a real winner, it also goes well with all those pink accessories we seem to see. Makes me wish for Spring! Great post!

I want to share exciting news! I received an email from Mattel See What’s New for 2018! They have for pre-order 12″ articulated dolls of female WWE Superstars which come with 2 outfits and 2 shoes for $19.99. Doll prototypes are pretty, have rooted hair and can stand in their shoes. They look more muscular than Barbies. I’m curious how they look IRL.

Out of curiosity, I ordered twins Nikki and Brie Bella, because they are pretty and I didn’t like the others. I wish more dolls were sold with an extra outfit. It’s a nice change to see strong role models in these WWF stars.

My husband used to enjoy watching wrestling on TV so I think I have seen some of the female wrestlers. It’s not really my thing but they look like they are well made dolls so a good addition to the Barbie world. Ken had better watch out however. :-).

Nice! We haven’t talked in a while, so I wanted to see how you were doing. Also, if you don’t know who I am, it’s okay, since I’ve changed names and pictures a lot. I’m Kat. Anyway, I probaly will change again, but oh well. Have a great day, mi amigo! Adiós!

About Naomi

I came to Australia with my mother and sister Vanda in 1966 from the UK aboard the Sitmar liner Castel Felice. We settled in South Australia I lived in the western suburbs of Adelaide for most of my life. I became very interested in retro items in my twenties. It was always a dream of mine to have an old house and fill it with retro items. I have done it twice now. My main interest is collecting old things. They do not have to be valuable, only interesting. There is something reassuring about old retro items. I have all sorts of things including doll related items. My other interests are my beautiful pets, art and going for drives to who knows where. I also enjoy board games or doing a scenic jig saw puzzle on a wintry afternoon by the fire. My goal is to travel a bit more as there are some places I would love to see
